Russian Prisoners Fight in Ukraine

Russian combatants are being executed in front of the public for “not charging into enemy fire” According to a recent report from Polygon Media and the independent Mozhem Obyasnit outlet, captured Russian prisoners who have been deployed to the front lines in Ukraine as part of the Wagner Group, a notorious mercenary organization with ties to the Kremlin, claim to have witnessed public executions of deserters and disobedient troops.

According to a translation of the story from the Daily Beast, Yevgeny Novikov, a former prisoner who was hired by the mercenary gang, claimed, “Those who disobey are eliminated – and it’s done publicly.”

There are “squadrons of liquidators,” according to Novikov, who deal with personnel deemed to be problematic.
